"Paul Konerko hasn't stopped to figure out why he has hit home runs in five consecutive games.

"I'm just trying to get my body and myself in a good position to let it go," Konerko said. "And after that, you're just trying to make good decisions about a good pitch to hit, a bad pitch to hit, that kind of stuff.

"So ultimately it's going to come down to what they give you to hit, too. If they make pitches on you, it doesn't really matter how good you feel. But sometimes it lines up. Sometimes you have that feeling at the plate you can do things, but they make pitches all the time and it doesn't work out for you. But you still have that same mechanical feel, you feel good and you're just not getting good pitches to hit."

Konerko's second inning home run off Matt Garza made him the sixth player in Sox history to hit home runs in five consecutive games. Konerko moved ahead of Dwight Evans for 55th place on the all-time list with 386 home runs. He is batting .446 with seven doubles 11 home runs and 22 RBIs."
